Mehak

Why?Because Eastie needed a Pakistani/Indian joint.

East Boston ranks among the city's coolest budget-dining neighborhoods, with its mix of fine old-school Italian restaurants and newer Mexican, Central American and South American joints. However, it lacked Pakistani/Indian until Mehak opened recently in the Jeffries Point neighborhood, which ought to please longtime locals, newcomers in the nearby upmarket condos and adventurous food-lovers from the Back Bay, South End and Beacon Hill -- or, as we're known in Eastie, "the bridge-and-tunnel crowd."
